A couple of days ago it was announced that Ethan Hawke had joined Luc Besson’s latest picture Valerian. And now it’s been reported by The Wrap that John Goodman will also be in the sci-fi film and he will voice an Alien.

Valerian is based on the series of graphic novels from 1967 which charts the adventures of the titular time-travelling agent (Dane DeHaan) and his female sidekick, Laureline (Cara Delevingne). Clive Owen is also aboard, playing a man named Commander Arün Filitt, while Goodman joins Hawke and Rihanna in the unknown quantity category.

Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets is set for a July 2017 release.
